The trip, which will take place from December 3 to December 11, will be entirely self-financed.

She said: “We hope to mobilise the fishing villagers and coastal population to be on the constant lookout for new debris that could become new credible evidence.”

Families said in a statement they will focus on raising awareness about the missing plane among the local coastal population, who will be the first to come across any debris washing up on the country’s eastern shore.

They also mentioned an “incentive system (using own funds) to encourage the search for debris”, hinting at a cash reward for anyone who can help track down the missing airliner.
